I don't disagree with you in that the "college-ready for everyone" stance is ridiculous for schools. Kids need to come out with a marketable job skill if they're not planning on college.
BUT...This only works if our school culture changes dramatically. I think you underestimate how much misery loves company. Kids will go to great lengths to make sure their classmates don't learn, and school admins do nothing about it.

It requires acknowledging uncomfortable truths about the largest predictors behind criminal behavior. This is something no one in power wants to be honest about, so nothing can be done.

This is the second time you've called out "black culture". Crime, education, government reliance, generational welfare, etc, are huge problems with multiple races, especially rural whites.

frick that, let's just put them down permanently. Rob someone, steal/hijack a car, break and enter into property that's not yours/steal stuff that's not yours, absolutely beat the hell out of someone and continue to beat them after they are down and no longer a threat, etc...I have no problem just putting these people down. Why do we need to keep them alive? Maybe some of them could be changed, but they had their chance. Even the worst of them that grew up in entirely shite homes and areas know what they’re doing is wrong. Most of society has no issues doing right in life. There's enough people that do good that we can do just fine without all the bad ones, permanently.

At least ten bans incoming. My vote is to remove more statues and change names of more streets and buildings. That’s the only answer.

First, I want to say to the people who says "move", while that is the easy solution, if something isn't done about it it is just a matter of time before it creeps into areas where people are moving to get away from it.
The more people that move to an area means there is likely more people who will come with those people, who commit crimes.
As for as what can be done. What is the #1 cause of all of these crimes? Drugs. People steal to get money for drugs, there are turf wars, etc. The people on the top recruit young teenagers to do their dirt.
It gets downvoted when I say this, but legalize drugs. Take the market off the streets. It will not cure all. There will still be some drugs sold cheaper on the street, but drug use is a reality. This whole "war on drugs" is bullshite. If users can go somewhere and know what they are getting every time that will help lower number of people who die from ODing.
But if this so called "war on drugs" came to an end or became less impactful, I think there are people who would have a lot to lose.
There would be less people going to jail, which would hurt the bottom line of all these companies who run privatized jails, etc. There are several other things that it would take away from.
The justice system isn't helping the problem, but as long as there is money to be made in drugs, they can keep putting people behind bars for a long time, but there will always be people to take their spot.
You do need an aggressive police force, but that takes the right leadership to be able to be aggressive effectively. You first need a chief people are willing to work for. You need to be able to attract better people for the job instead of it being a job that attracts dumbasses who can't find work elsewhere.
There needs to be more help from communities which I think is up to the police. They need to work on gaining the trust of the public and like anything else, that requires building relationships.
I've been to a HS to judge senior projects. It was mostly kids from poor areas. Most of those kids were simply not aware of all the different fields they could work in. 70% of them wanted to own a carwash or a hair and nail shop.
From what I could see, if a kid wasn't interested in college then they were not a priority. No one is there to show those kids where they can go to be a pipe designer or a plumber, electrician, mechanic, etc, etc. So if someone has no idea what direction to go into, they will eventually go the only direction they know. They become drug addicts, drunks, etc.
So I think there are multiple things that need to be done to slow down crime, but unless politicians had something to gain by fixing crime problems its going to be difficult.

Frick all the regulations we have to follow so we don't look cruel or whatever, cause the criminals certainly didn't think about that. Opps, they accidently fell and broke everything and are in serious pain, but not dead. Good, hammer the knee caps and rip out all the finger nails one by one!

As long as the frequent victims keep voting in their slave masters, nothing. The blue cities are occupied by fools who hate white people more than they love themselves. Until they vote against people who look like them, they are screwed, self screwed.
THERE IS NOTHING WHITE PEOPLE CAN DO TO HELP BLACK PEOPLE, NOTHING, THEY HAVE TO DO IT FOR THEMSELVES.

Accountability. When actions have consequences behaviors change. Singapore is an extreme example but you won't see anyone as much as spit their gum out on the sidewalk.

1. build more jails.
2. put more people in them LONGER.
3. Quit financing the propagation of criminals.

Crack some skulls and lock up the thugs.
This is a place to start on violent crime. It's generally agreed that around 1% of a population commits 65% of the violent crime. So in a city like Baton Rouge of 200K, around 2000 people are the ones committing most of the violent crime. Focusing on them makes the problem more manageable.
First, if you commit a violent crime you shouldn't get a chance for parole.
Second, invest police resources into tracking and infiltrating the networks of those 2000 people.
Third, Shreveport used to have a successful program in the 80s and 90s of the jump out boys. They were a team of officers focused on reducing gang violence. They were successful back then but were disbanded because of politics and look at Shreveport now. Resources need to be put back into policing the communities that produce violent crime.
Fourth, the communities where the violent criminals live need to step up and quit being victims. Victim mentality within these communities allows them not to take responsibility for what they produce. The leaders in these communities wash their hands of the issue rather then step up to the plate to try to fix it.
One of the biggest problems in a community that produces lots of violence is they don't participate in see something, say something because they don't want to be a snitch. So not being a snitch is more important then keeping your community safe. Until they change that mindset within themselves tough policing of the community is all that will help.
After reading another posters comments, mentoring at risk youth can also help. We gotta show kids there is a better way.
One of the at risk highschools in my area had a "siging day" ceremony like a fb recruit but instead they were celebrating kids that signed employment agreements in the construction trades. It was awesome seeing the kids recognized in the community and the newspaper for going to work in good paying jobs.

Hire mercenaries? 
Remember in the 2019 Governor's Race when John Bel's team was running ads bragging on the merits of "Criminal Justice Reform" and how it reduces crime in LA?
How's that shite workin' out, folks?

This won't do anything unless the kids are seeing/hearing it from the elders in their own communities.
